Jeremy Garcia, Jono Bacon, and Stuart Langridge present Bad Voltage, in which we are raided, we sell the forum (temporarily) to Alan Pope as part of the Papal Weekend, we are the youth gone wild, and:
[00:05:00] Cloudflare spin up a new DNS service at 1.1.1.1... Google launching mid-range Pixel - likely focused on India... Revisiting our Mycroft review in the light of their 18.02 release: Stuart comments in detail, while Mycroft calls Jono a fool (really!)... Apple to move to ARM chips made by themselves in laptops, from 2020... Mark Shuttleworth talks about Canonical IPO... US restaurant PaneraBread leaks millions of customer records... Mozilla Reality: a browser, in VR... Profile Engine scraped hundreds of millions of users' Facebook profiles in 2007-2010... Google vs Oracle: Google loses appeal, APIs are copyrightable... we've been playing with the MarcoPolo "video walkie-talkie" app, and review it...
[01:01:00] Jeremy and Stuart and others have been working on building Measure, a tool for people who manage open source projects. It helps you know what's going on in the community, who's contributing and who isn't, and generally gives you more visibility, while being easy to understand and opinionated in which things it shows you. We talk about it here, and Jeremy spoke about Measure at SCaLE 16x in more detail still if you want to know even more
They also have x86 emulation working with minimal performance loss (although I’m not sure how well that works)! There’s also plenty of Chromebook’s which run on ARM!
IT’S PAPAL CELEBRATION DAY! It’s Space Invaders all around, please @popey
Regarding @sil’s comment about example(.)org|com|net’s equivelent in IPv4 addresses (defined in RFC5735) these are:
TEST-NET-1: 192.0.2.0/24
TEST-NET-2: 198.51.100.0/24
TEST-NET-3: 203.0.113.0/24
Also, there’s a “inter-network testing” IP range (defined in RFC2544) which is 198.18.0.0/15.
I like the sound and idea of Measure, but I don’t think it’s quite targetted at projects of my size
By saying “English” rather than “British” implies it’s a local delicacy that has somehow found it’s way out into the rest of the world, while the reality is that KP released Space Raiders in 1987 across the UK. It’s kind of like saying the “English parliament” just because it’s in England.
No, not really; Jono is just being a tit because he knows if he brings up Tunnock’s Caramel Wafers, and if he calls them “British”, I’ll fucking lose it
KP was part of United Biscuits in 1987. United Biscuits are a British company, not an English company.
The managing director of Tunnock’s considers them as British as well:
Mr Tunnock told The Scotsman: “You’ve got the Great British Bake Off and things like that these days. We could have said Scottish but you’re then promoting Scotland. We’re British.”
Hey @popey its really hard to read anything on this forum on the upper half of my screen. Since you are now the BDFL could you please paint your walls a darker shade and get a tan… unless you have more cats.
OK, it’s Tuesday, and so the Papal Weekend is over! Many thanks to @popey for his purchase and takeover of the forum. Now we can read the writing again It was fun while it lasted…
